CQV1 Real Time Digitiser from CL Systems
Spotted this for sale on eBay.
Not sure what it does - there is documentation on CD available from Dilwyn.
No idea what it digitises .
Very much sold as seen.

may be of interest to someone collecting odd bits and pieces of QL add-ons.

It's one of these I think:
https://qlwiki.qlforum.co.uk/doku.php?i ... _digitiser
Looks like the software is available from RWAP. Seems similar to the Spem digitiser.

Ask me about felt pads - I can cut them to size and they have proved excellent for mdv data recovery.

Re: CQV1 Real Time Digitiser from CL Systems
Hi,
This was reviewed in QL World 1991 Jul. and user report in 1992 Feb.
I remember talking to CL Systems about their new interface, trying to get a unit on loan to write a review for the BBS I used to run. But they said I could buy an interface if I liked and write a review, so said I had to save up... so I never got around to buying the interface.
I have this on my Ebay watch list, but I doubt it wil be result in an inexpense sale price.
I would drawn up and published the cicruit.

I'm afraid the auction doesn't include the software that came with the unit.
The box might be pretty useless without it.

Lets hope without software it doesn't interest someoneDerek_Stewart wrote:I have this on my Ebay watch list, but I doubt it wil be result in an inexpense sale price.

This Amiga frame grabber looks interesting https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392205500258
Though attempts to make use of it don't look to have got far https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19496
Pity, could have been quite useful. Just uses Amiga printer port - but what dialogue?
Looks like it's controlled by ASIC from ES2 (defunct European Silicon Structures). Don't know to what use the tiny 16Kb SRAM was put (FIFO?).

Re: CQV1 Real Time Digitiser from CL Systems
Hi,
Well no bids yet, I will try and get it, as it did loo, oksy when I sas it many years ago.
Not bothered about no software, maybe time to start writing software.
The Amiga intefaces ard hard to convert to other mavchines, I had an Amiga MIDI intetface which attaced to the Amigs Serial port, which just needed a QL device driver to drive the interface, which I had problems with the QL SER ports to drive the interface. I hoped to use Superhermes, but the SER3 driver was a little inflexible, and no help from the Hermes team. So it got sold to a Amiga man...

The software for the CL Systems Digitiser is attached - I assume it does nothing without the hardware (zip file is a folder to be attached to q-emulator).

Re: CQV1 Real Time Digitiser from CL Systems
Thanks Rich. Added to QL Homepage. Manuals for both digitisers are also available from the Replacement Manuals page on my site, although the one for the Lang Digitiser lacks the diagrams.

Re: CQV1 Real Time Digitiser from CL Systems
I haven't looked at the RWAP version above but I believe the software for running the SPEM digitiser was contained within the 'Look & Show' software, which is on your graphics page as: Look_Show.zip - A slide show from Spem of Italy.

If I get a moment I'll compare them - it might be the same thing.
